"Cloud Nine" indicates a feeling of joy and complete contentment.

"We gave Junior a new iPod for his birthday, and he's been on Cloud Nine ever since."

As said above, it means great joy and happiness.

A slightly more in-depth explanation would be "Semi-religious"
(Meaning, there is no specific religion in mind; it's just a general silly notion.)

Referring to the different 'levels of heaven', 1-10.

Cloud one - "Whew... I barely made it," 'happy'.
-
Cloud ten - "God and I are on a first name basis," 'happy'.

Or it can be looked upon as the different levels the angels reside upon.
